3.Help Landmine Survivors Network when you shop online! Simply use www.Igive.com as your browser when shopping online. This site provides up to 26% of their proceeds to charities. Just remember to select Landmine Survivors Network as your recipient.
4. Raise money for the cause: Arrange benefit concerts, plays, and talent shows; coin drives; car washes; bake sales
5. Write an article or letter to the editor of your local newspaper on the impact of landmines around the world.
6. Write a letter to your congressman or senator urging them to stop reported U.S. plans to produce a new generation of landmines, the Intelligent Munitions System, or "Smart Mine," that can be detonated remotely. Operated remotely, and from a distance, these weapons will not be able to discern between military personnel, civilians, children, or farm animals. |
